Posted by Messung Industrial Automation & controls on March 29th, 2022

Messung, as one of India’s leading industrial automation companies, offers cutting-edge custom-built solutions forfactory automation, process automation and special purpose machine automation. Messung is considered one of the top 10 PLC manufacturers and offers an excellent range of world-class Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Remote I/O modules, Servo & Motion Control solutions and Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) for a cornucopia of applications across diverse industries. 

Messung also offers an expansive range of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and Servo/Motion products from Fuji Electric for simple to complex industrial applications.

 THE NX-ERA PLC Series

 The NX-ERA Programmable Logic Controllers Series is a modern automation system that is suitable for complex industrial processes, high-performance machines and production lines.

 The NX-ERA Series provides resources for all stages of the application lifecycle with its integrated Distribution Control Systems (DCS) features, programming and configuration environment based on the IEC 61131-3 standard - resulting in the speeding up of development and reducing engineering and commissioning costs.

 The system architecture of the NX-ERA Series offers redundancy features for CPU Power Supply, Supervision, Control Networks and Field Buses.

 The NX-ERA Series also comes with advanced diagnostics and hot swapping resulting in the minimization or elimination of downtime for maintenance and allowing for a continuous production process.

 NX-ERA EXPRESS

 The NX-ERA Xpress is compact in size while providing high performance. It is a powerful, compact Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) from the NX-ERA family of controllers and I/O modules. Messung’s small wonder delivers high processing power in a compact design with embedded I/O.

Highlights of NX-ERA Xpress 

-       Exceptional features at competitive prices

-       Smart engineering of easy to use software and offline simulation

-       Scalable design (within the NX-ERA family) that covers small to large solutions

-       Up to 43 I/Os in a single unit in a high-density design

-       Integrity ensured even in harsh conditions with conformal coating

-       Multiprotocol communication

With several options to choose from, this series of mini PLCs allows for the best solution for entry-level applications. The series is targeted at small control systems and offers models consisting of a few digital I/Os to options with 43 I/O points densely concentrated in a single controller - including analogue inputs and outputs with temperature support. In case additional I/Os are needed, the system can easily be expanded through CANopen using the Remote I/O mode. Other available ports like Ethernet and RS-485 can also be used to expand the device. 

Applications of NX-ERA Xpress 

The NX-ERA Xpress Series of micro PLCs is ideal for small applications and remote distributed I/O. Its applications include water treatment systems and a variety of applications in the infrastructure, building automation, food, textiles, factory automation, machines and other industries.

 It is also a good solution for complementing major applications along with the NX-ERA Series devices and extends the range of applications while using the same technology and engineering environment. This is a great feature for OEMs and systems integrators with small to large applications.
